SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Head coach Jamie Brown hit the 100 win mark at Sage Saturday afternoon when the Gators beat Skidmore on the road 7-3.
Allison Ford (Mechanicville, NY/Mechanicville) and Morgan Dunn (Cohoes, NY/Cohoes) put the Gators up 2-0 after one inning of play, but the Thoroughbreds plated three runs in the bottom of the first to go up 2-3.
In the bottom of the first, Ford had a spectacular play in left field to prevent Kristina Foley from a base hit.
Sage (8-8, 4-0 Skyline) tied it up 3-3 in the top of the fourth when Jess Adams (Nassau, NY/Columbia) scored on a Kiersten Duncan (Millerton, NY/Taconic Hills) double down the leftfield line.
Skidmore (6-10, 0-0 Liberty League) had the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the fifth, but Lindsay Brace (Moriah, NY/Moriah Central) and the Gator defense kept the Thoroughbreds off the board with a groundout and a heads-up double-play from Brace.
The Gators got the bats going in the top of the sixth when Adams scored on a Melissa Estremera (Millbrook, NY/Millbrook) single. Estremera and Jenn Onwe (Tarrytown, NY/Sleepy Hollow) added two more runs off a Ford double to left field, and Ford was plated the next play on a Katy Rimawi (Ballston Spa, NY/Ballston Spa) single.
With Sage up 7-3, Dunn made an impressive stop and throw at third in the bottom of the sixth to keep Lila Rosenfeld off the bases. After another inning of play, the 7-3 score stood, and the Gators won.
Brace (4-3) was credited with the win after throwing a complete game while Amanda Carilli (4-5) picked up the loss for Skidmore.

Skidmore took game one earlier in the day 4-2. Foley and Forunato put the Thoroughbreds up 2-0 early in the first off a Rochelle Brown single to centerfield. They plated two more runs in the third when Foley went yard over the centerfield fence.
